About

The story of the Bolla winery is the story of a family that revolutionized the wine market in the last century to become today one of the most internationally important Italian wine companies.
The soil is volcanic, rich in calcium, potassium and magnesium. Hand-harvested grapes are crushed and gently pressed. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks for three weeks and the wine remains on the lees as long as possible, before bottling. A passion for winemaking, respect and knowledge of the territory and a willingness to experiment are the founding values which are still today the driving force behind the work of the Bolla winery.

Terroir

Hilly Valpolicella zone, Veneto, Italy. Limestone hills at 200 meters (650 feet) altitude with some clay, stone and volcanic rock.

Vinification

Hand-harvested indigenous grapes are crushed and fermented in temperature-controlled small stainless-steel tanks for about one week to maintain fresh fruit character and natural, soft tannins. Malolactic fermentation follows, which increases the wine’s complexity and the wine is then aged in a mix of Slavonian, French, and American oak for 2 months.
